Abstract

It is important to be a role model and guide for the child in the process of acquiring the rules and behaviors that should be followed in order to protect from the risks during the use of technology and not to create risks for others. In this context, as a result of the research conducted with preschool teachers who are the guides and role models of children, it was seen that their understanding of digital ethics was based on protection from the harms of technology, correct use, and the application of moral and ethical rules to the digital environment. It was stated that precautions such as restricting posts about children and controlling the channels they share were taken. They stated that they wanted to receive training on digital ethics to improve themselves, guide and protect children, and that they obtained information various resources. They stated that they shared with children, families, and colleagues on issues such as safe internet and digital citizenship and emphasized that teachers and parents should also be trained for digital ethics education to be given to children.
